Hanna
Hanna awoke in a dark room, unsure of where she was, but she knew one thing, it stank worse than Spencer after she'd been practising for field hockey, and that was saying something. She heard people to the left of her, talking about her. A bright light illuminated the room to reveal she was in a hospital bed, surrounded by people. But they weren't people, they had the appearance of people at a first glance, but under closer inspection, they had cuts all over their bodies, and rotting flesh. It was then that Hanna realised that she was surrounded by bodies of the people she loved, all strung up from the ceiling. Her mother was there, as was Aria, Emily and Spencer. But what puzzled her most was the fact that Caleb wasn't there. She then turned to see who had opened the door, and of all people, it was Alison. "Ali! What is going on?" Hanna asked. But because Alison was the way she was, the only thing she said was "Something wicked this way comes Han, so brace yourself" and she left. The room was then completely black, and Hanna couldn't move. Although she couldn't see them, the bodies felt like they were getting closer, and that their lifeless corpses were staring at her. Hanna slammed her eyes shut, not knowing what else to do. When she saw the room become brighter from behind her eyelids, she slowly opened her eyes. Her mothers corpse was there, staring Hanna in the eye. It was then that her dead mother opened her mouth, and screeched. Hanna screamed along with her mother, and she slipped unconscious.
"Han! Calm down, it's me Aria" her friend called. Hanna opened her eyes to see that she was in a hospital bed, but instead of being pitch black, the midday sun shone through the window. "What? What happened? Where's my mom?" Hanna screamed, not at Aria, but not at anything. She just needed to know the people she had just seen dead were actually alive. "Chill, she's on her way. And about what happened, you slipped and fell in the bathroom at school. Don't you remember?" It was all coming back to her now; the text, the argument, and then the fall. "Ms. Marin? May I have a word with you?" an unfamiliar voice called "My name is Dr. Stone, and I need to talk to you urgently." Hanna knew what he was asking, he wanted to tell Aria to get out in the nicest way possible, and she seemed to understand too. "Han, I'll be right outside if you need me" she said as she left. Hanna's gaze was then set upon the new voice's owner. Dr. Stone was a handsome 30 something who had a surprisingly deep voice for his size, not to say that he was small, but it was the sort of voice you'd expect to hear from a club bouncer, which Hanna had many experiences with. "How are you feeling? You're friend said you had a pretty bad fall." What else had Aria said? Anything about my "problems" Hanna thought. "Yeah I'm feeling better now thanks" she wasn't, but it's always best to reassure your doctor. "Good. Now I was looking through your file and I noticed a few things slightly odd. It says here that a couple of years ago you lost an awful lot of weight." Oh shit, he knows she thought "but that's not what I'm concerned about right now, although we will get to that later." Dodged that bullet for now, "later" should give me some time to come up with a story. "The thing that is made me look twice is the fact that when we took your heart rate, it picked up two heart beats. Now at first we thought it was just the machine, but then we checked again, and it turns out that, well, to put it in its simplest form Ms. Marin is that you're pregnant."
The word "pregnant" went around Hanna's head a million times a second. "I'll leave you to ponder on this new information, and a nurse will be in later to check on you."
Hanna sat in her bed, unable to move, and the thought of her mothers face being right in front of her, screaming at her. Alison was right, something wicked did come this way, but Hanna had a horrible feeling that it was far from over.
